Does anyone still work on 2009 batteries? I have five that don't work. I'm looking for repair/rebuild to make a good one.

Nissan Leaf Cells/pack are a good replacement for original cells, few have rebuilt packs with these. They lighter, more capacity and no voltage sag under load.

The physical size of the Nissan Leaf batteries means that you can't fit it in the same space that the old Zero battery went in.
We are still rebuilding packs Martymar, you are welcome to PM me. What country are you in? ( tell us some more detail about your project and what you want to achieve...)
If you have 5 batteries you can maybe strip them all down and harvest the decent cells to make one good one, but that will not help you if you also have 5 bikes to go along with them!
We have recently done a rebuild with EIG cells which is lighter and more powerful,than the Molicel.

Old thread.. but has Anyone transplanted gen1 LEAF modules in a 2010 MX? Did not realize how large they were.  Looking for options to get this bike running again, guessing will have to get creative with cell placement...

It’s not possible without bi-locating the cells or modifying the chassis because they are too big to fit in the battery space.
Much easier to just fit a set of EIG cells which fit like a glove and are lighter which is what I did
If you are in the UK I have some spare.
